Our purpose is to promote ideas and concepts that impact the African American community positively in Madison, Wisconsin; and to provide awareness of and offer opportunities that are professionally and personally supportive of African American professionals.

Ultimately, we want to encourage people who live in Madison to stay in Madison. We believe by creating a network and outlet for people of color we not only reinforce and support what we each do in our professional lives but more importantly connect on a personal level so that we feel part of the Madison community.

Attend one of our monthly lunches and determine if this is the type of professional network for you.

Your first lunch with us is complimentary. If you decide you would like to come again you would then be asked to pay $10.00 for each time you attend.

You have the option of becoming a member, after you have attended at least one lunch, and all it requires is that you complete our membership application online and submit it as part of the membership application process. From there additional instructions will be provided.

Thanks for being interested in the Madison Network of Black Professionals, and we look forward to meeting you!
